I'll be there on the IT250D.

And I'll be racing the 'modern' 1988 TDR250. I wonder how far off Pre'90 is?

how often do you replace your boot soles?

I don't know yet. But with my old boots the soles will probably out last the rest of the boot.

whats the reason behind the cover bags on your tyres.?

The TDR is the 'Ultimate Dual' purpose racer.
This year I am racing it in New Era 1 Formula 3 road racing as well as dirt track. (2nd in class at the Barry Sheene).
The Tyre Warmers make sure that the slick tyres are at operating temperature right from the start so that they provide the best grip on the road race track.

ps. I love my TDR.

I hope to get out for a look, but the TM is off the road waiting for an engine rebuild. Given all the stuff coming up, the finances won't stretch to that for a few months yet... But I'll be a definite starter for the DT Nats!

What a great meeting.
No traction on the TDR meant that I scared myself silly on it in 10 races.
Great fun on the IT. Even if it had no front brakes by the 2nd last race.
What do you need brakes for they only slow you down!  :) :)
Thanks to all at the ACTMCC who made it possible particularly Pat Pither..
